Talk:libo

Tagalog New Definition Attestation
You added a definition of "to confuse (the opponents); decoy", is this a usage in southern Tagalog? By the way, are you from Batangas? We kinda need some information on it before it is included. Thanks. Mar vin kaiser (talk) 15:11, 25 September 2022 (UTC)

Hello! I'm actually from Quezon province and yes the word's from southern tagalog, im new here (so please bare with me) and i thought to add some southern tagalog words (since I don't see much of it here) if that's fine..regarding to 'libo' I commonly hear it here (and I can confirm it's used all over quezon and surrounding provinces) especially at traditional games like patentero. Thanks and have a nice day. Arsenetlefebvre (talk) 01:37, 26 September 2022 (UTC)


 * @Arsenetlefebvre How do you use this in a sentence? I'm not South enough but maybe it's related to 🇨🇬 and 🇨🇬. Ysrael214 (talk) 09:50, 26 September 2022 (UTC)

'libuhin mo', 'manlibo ka' 'wag kang manlibo' are what I commonly hear people use. manlibo, it's quite similar to 'manlinlang' and 'manlito' meaning: to confuse decieve or fool.. Arsenetlefebvre (talk) 09:58, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Based on how you describe it, it sounds like it means something like to fool, to deceive, to hoodwink, is that right? Is that the main meaning? --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 14:30, 26 September 2022 (UTC)

yes Arsenetlefebvre (talk) 14:32, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
 * And it's pronounced exactly the same as the word meaning "thousand"? Even the stress? --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 14:43, 26 September 2022 (UTC)

no, it sounds more like bigo..
 * Ok, it sounds like (confused), right? But the "t" changed to a "b"? --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 15:06, 26 September 2022 (UTC)

yes, although lito is more like 'being confused', libo is rather 'to confuse' Arsenetlefebvre (talk) 15:08, 26 September 2022 (UTC)


 * @Arsenetlefebvre @Mar vin kaiser bigo has a glottal stop at the end though? like bigô. Ysrael214 (talk) 15:31, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes, I noticed that. But Arsenetlefebvre also gave the word "libuhin" above, which means the word doesn't have a glottal stop. --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 15:39, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
 * @Mar vin kaiser Oh yeah, true. If it were libô, the verb would be libuin. Thanks for answering. Ysrael214 (talk) 15:42, 26 September 2022 (UTC)

sorry I'm still not good at IPA.. Arsenetlefebvre (talk) 00:54, 27 September 2022 (UTC)


 * @Mar vin kaiser @Arsenetlefebvre I asked someone from Lucena, they don't know this word. Is this an Infanta only thing? Or is this a mishearing of ? Ysrael214 (talk) 03:32, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
